Confirmation for 7th and 8th Graders – Shepherd of the Hills

Confirmation for 7^th and 8^th Graders

Confirmation education provides an opportunity for students to dive deeper into faith and grow in relationship with God, as well as with their peers and adult “Faith Friends” of Shepherd of the Hills. We know relationships matter, so classes include time for conversation, sharing highs and lows, prayer, games, and community-building activities, as well as teaching the foundations of faith and how it connects with everyday life. Classes are held Sundays.

Faith Friends

“Faith Friends” are formed through confirmation. This ministry intentionally connects an adult member of the church with two students of the same gender. Faith Friends gather regularly to get to know one another and be in faith conversations. There are also opportunities for families to gather together.

KFC (Kids for Christ) Youth Choir/Band

KFC is for young people who love to sing and make music to worship the Lord. It is a fun group that sings and plays a variety of styles. Students of any age and experience who can read are welcome. Rehearsals are scheduled around families’ availability. KFC sings/plays during both worship services approximately once a month. Families choose if they can be present for both or just one service. Contact the leader Pastor Darcy, to find out more at pastordarcy@soth.org.

Youth Activities

Special events like service projects (i.e. packing food for children in need), retreats, parties, and more are planned throughout the year. These often include gatherings with high school students. Contact the Church Administrator for more information at admin@sothva.org. Always, check out the announcements for upcoming events.

Volunteer Ministry Opportunities

SOTH loves and encourages children and youth involvement and leadership in all its ministries, including helping with worship and sharing special gifts like singing and playing instruments. Confirmation Students, 7th and 8th Graders, serve as acolytes as part of their Confirmation Experience.
